The rest of the day was fairly uneventful aside from the guys being approached to ask if Honey was available for some recreational activity.
Which was a less than subtle code for, 'We wanna fuck your friend whether its consentual or not'. The guys shot the others down with some scathing comments about how they weren't man enough to handle her.
Embarrassing Honey in more ways than one while upsetting Throttle, Vinny, and Modo for having to go there in the first place since they had just got back on good terms with her. However they were relieved to know that Honey wasn't mad at them. She was just mortified that now everyone was going to think she was a slut.
Which upset the guys again, but in a different way.
So after spending the rest of the day trying to make it up to her, it was finally lights out and the three men were for once grateful that they could move around their cell in the dark. Each of them was filled with a restless energy along with a nagging worry that something huge and life altering was about to happen.
So the second Honey was out, the three got up and moved to the far corner of the room and sat down on the cold stone floor to talk about what to do next. Using whispered tones so that they didn't disturb their girl the three huddled together and whispered, "What the fuck was that shit about?" Vinny asked, his tone, even as soft as it was- was sounding seriously vexed.
"Dunno. Maybe some of the boys here are itching to pick a fight with us." Which was a possibility since they more or less ran things and could get the guards and others to do what they wanted through intimidation tactics.
"Either that or someone here is trying to set Honey up for a nasty end." Throttle said in a gravely tone as he recalled the incident from about a month ago when Honey had been ill and mentioned that one of the guards had attacked her.
It was entirely possible that that same person was now trying to finish what he started by using some of the other more naieve inmates.
Hell for all they knew that person had even told someone that Honey was a girl and would make a nice little bitch for some of the more vicious people in the detention center before he had her killed.
It wasn't a pleasant thought.
Not one little bit.
"You think whoever is finally starting to make his move?" Modo asked in a hushed tone, his one pink/scarlet eye glowing eerily in the soft light filtering into the room.
"It's possible." Throttle said as he crossed his arms when Vinny made a low growling sound. His tail twitching in agitation.
"Then we need to find a way to make her our lover before things get out of control." Both Throttle and Modo looked at him wide eyed, as if they had expected him to come up with something more useful. Dumbasses. Didn't they realize that as the younger of them he was more hormone driven?
And besides, Honey was cute. Really cute.
And his mind just slid right into the gutter... God why couldn't anything ever be simple? He wondered as Throttle reached out and grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yanked him forward until their noses were almost touching and growled.
"You wanna run that by us again, megga moron?"
Vinny blinked. "Okay, I said-" He was cut off by Modo this time. Goddammit! What was with his brothers and their lack of manners? I mean, really, why bother asking him to explain something to them if they weren't going to let him speak? He gave the two pissed looking men a withering glare and snapped.
"Are you gonna let me finish, assholes?"
The two exchanged a look and sighed. Like they really had a choice... Vinny took a deep breath and covered the talk incident in one breath then went on to remind them that it wasn't like Honey couldn't see herself with one or even all of them in a romantic capasity. Which he then spelled out for them as neither a yes to their preposal. Nor a no to it.
The basic truth was that she was worried that if she said yes, they would fight or she would feel spread too thin.
He also mentioned that there was something else holding her back. He wasn't sure what it was, but whatever it was bothered her greatly. So it was up to them to make the first move.
Throttle and Modo blinked at him, not really understanding what he meant. "Y-You want us to more or less force ourselves-" Modo stammered out in an aghast tone. Vinny rolled his eyes at his eldest brother's dramatics and growled.
"No! Forcing ourselves on her would ruin everything!"
"You're talking about seducing her. Setting a pace and taking our time to conqure her." Throttle said calmly as he reached out and placed his hand on top of Modo's head and ruffled his short hair affectionately.
"Yes! No-" Vinny almost shouted and then went quiet when Honey made a small sound and rolled over in her sleep before Vinny said in a more subdued tone, "Dammit bros! Stop twisting my words around to sound like it's something dirty and underhanded and wrong. Honey may be a girl, but she's our girl. So thinking of her as nothing more than a conquest is wrong!"
"What I was actually trying to say is that we seduce her- yes- and make her the single greatest love of our lives. She deserves nothing less from us so that's what we'll do." Vinny sat back as his brothers gave him a surprised look.
They had never known him to have such a romantic side.
It was as shocking as it was adorable. Though they wouldn't comment on it, their younger brother might hurt them. Or at the very least die trying in typical, comical male fashion.
"So when do we put this plan of action into order?" Modo asked curiously. The three of them looked towards the bed where Honey was sleeping, curled up on her side, facing away from them.
"I'd say we start tonight but let's let her sleep while she can. She'll need the rest for future reference."
"Then we'll start tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Bright and early."
